Default 993 size difference
Post up pictures. Always amazes me how small the 993 is compared to modern cars today. It's like a large go kart.

But its still 3000 lbs. Crazy how the modern 911 is so much larger and doesn't way much more.

There is a cayman where I store mine when I don't drive her. Side by side there they look similar... Guess I should get a tape measure next time to know for sure.

^ There is some lens trickery going on there...the 993 is close to a 987 in size...see the previous post with the two blue cars.

Who had that pic of the 993 between two pickups, that was a good one.

Default These comparisons are one of my favorite things




Looks like trick photography!


How is it possible that they still feel so roomy inside?
